Show USE EARLY SPRING WATER As this is Wiitten, there is much concern about prospective water supplies sup-plies for the coming crop season in Utah. The snow in the mountains is not so deep as usual at this time or the year and-. the weather during the first three weeks of February has been so spring-like as to suggest plowing1 and even planting. In normal nor-mal years, February is the month In which much snow is banked in the mountains to serve as the source of our summer water. The situation is not yet serious, but fear of a water shortage is becoming be-coming more general with the continuation con-tinuation of fine weather. That this fear will prove groundless is the "ne-lief "ne-lief of many who expect a wet spring. Whatever the weather may prove to be during the next two months, no farmers should fail so far as practicable, practi-cable, all of the early spring water. Get it into the land, if possible. It may serve to avert a crop failure. - a |
